I am now having a third go at this one after researching whether multiplying or adding is done first in teh absence of brackets. So here goes again...
20 + 20 + 20 = 60
20 + 3 + 3 = 26
3 + 6 + 6 = 15
20 + 3 x 6 = 38 if as Dr Google says, multiplication is done before addition when there's no brackets. Doing the addition first, the answer is 138, which was my second try.

Chicken = 20Bananas = 1
Chicken = 20
Bananas = 1 each
eggs = 1 each
Final sum Chicken , 4 eggs x 4 bananas
20+ (4x 4) = 36
